In fact, Jianlu had long been wary of being attacked by North Korean volunteers. After all, they are not stupid. Why did you dig so many holes?

But they didn't expect that in the past, the North Korean volunteers would only attack a small number of Dajin soldiers who went out to grab food. This time, they were so bold that even the food transport troops dared to attack.

Seeing thousands of Korean volunteers emerging, the Jianlu leader laughed ferociously. Even this shabby army dares to come up with the idea of ​​transporting grain troops. I really don’t know how much I have!

He gave an order, and the 400 Jianlu, mainly Jurchen Tatars, who had been on guard, immediately formed a team to face the Korean volunteers who emerged from the ravine. Their military appearance is neat, with heavy armored soldiers, sword and shield bearers, and archers all arranged in an orderly manner.

When the Korean volunteers saw how powerful Jianlu was, they immediately threw their bows and arrows around without even touching them, and then fled.

When the Jianlu leader saw this, he immediately sent an order to pursue them. The road was dug so disgustingly that it was not good for food to be left on the road. All these Korean volunteers must be captured to build the road.

After this order was passed, the 400 captives who were in strict formation began to divide into teams. Including the team protecting the food, another 200 people were divided to outflank and capture the Korean volunteers.

Just like this, the Korean volunteers were running around in front, and the Jianlu were chasing after them. Slowly, no one was laughing at anyone, and they were all running around in chaos.

The Jianlu were chasing after them vigorously when suddenly they were faced with a hail of arrows, which killed more than twenty people. Then they were surprised to find that groups of Ming troops were surrounding them in groups. And the number was beyond their imagination.

In a cold-weapon battle, when one side runs away and becomes a mess, while the other side forms a formation to attack, the defeat is basically determined based on personal bravery alone, as long as the gods do not come down to earth.

This time, Lu Xiangsheng did not go out to fight in person, but asked Mao Chengzuo and Liu Xingzhi who came with him to lead the attack. Accompanied by Wei Mulan, he watched the battle from a hilltop.

After watching for a while, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but turned to Wei Mulan and sighed: "The essence of guerrilla warfare that your Majesty said really amazed me. With an absolute local advantage, no matter how strong the Jianlu are, our army can still defeat them!"

"Haha, Zhongcheng, do you want me to convey these words of praise to His Majesty?" Wei Mulan smiled, and she was in a good mood when she saw the battle won.

She actually doesn't know how to fight, otherwise she would definitely point out that there is another premise for what Lu Xiangsheng said, which is that although our army may not be as well trained and equipped as Jianlu, it must obey orders and be willing to fight.

If it weren't for Lu Xiangsheng's presence, the Ming army in Dongjiang would be in disarray, not much better than the Korean volunteers. Even if you want to ambush Jianlu, I'm afraid you won't achieve much results.

But with Lu Xiangsheng, after his rectification, the Dongjiang Ming Army was different. He organized more than 5,000 soldiers from more than 20,000 troops. This time he went to war and personally brought out 2,000 of the most elite soldiers. Although he was untrained, he had basic combat skills and everyone obeyed his command. The soldiers admired him and dared to use their lives, so it became possible to fight this kind of war.

If the army led by Lu Xiangsheng engages in regular combat with Jianlu, the disadvantage will still be obvious, and it will not become a strong army in just half a month because of his appearance. A strong army that has not been rigorously trained may fall into chaos after a few tactical moves. It is not so easy to be an army with orders and prohibitions.

Lu Xiangsheng knew these things himself, but there was no need to say them. He just smiled at Wei Mulan's words, and then turned to look at the battlefield.

The battle was almost one-sided. Several Ming soldiers were fighting against a Jianlu. With long and short weapons stretched out, even if the Jianlu could fight, it would be of no use and his life would be harvested. It's like this in one place, it's like this everywhere. It didn't take long for most people to imagine that nearly six hundred captives, including the Jurchen Tatars, were easily eliminated except for the nearly fifty or sixty who were finally surrounded in a circle. This level of ease not only made the Korean volunteers feel incredible, but even the Dongjiang Ming Army themselves were a little surprised.

When Lu Xiangsheng saw this, he ordered Lu Da who was standing next to him: "Go ahead and take care of them all, and then go deal with the remaining grain trucks."

"Yes, sir!" Lu Da clasped his fists in agreement, then moved back, and more than fifty people came out of Lu Xiangsheng's guard camp. Each of these people held a powerful crossbow in their hands, and under the leadership of Lu Da, they walked towards the remaining Jianlu who formed a circle.

Lu Xiangsheng watched them go by and sighed to Wei Mulan: "It's a pity that the Dongjiang side is short of materials and time is short, so we can only build these fifty powerful crossbows. It would be much easier if there was no war."

In the original history, when Governor Lu Xiangsheng was suppressing bandits on all roads, he built a large number of powerful crossbows and killed the bandits' cavalry, thereby greatly reducing the bandits' power. It can be said that half of Lu Xiangsheng's reputation is based on this powerful crossbow.

The besieged prisoners have formed a formation and are struggling to the death facing the outside. They are extremely fierce. Whether it is the Korean volunteers or the Dongjiang Ming Army, if they dare to attack, they will definitely be defeated.

But suddenly, the surrounding group of Ming troops suddenly dispersed to both sides. These Jianlu thought that the Ming army was preparing to surrender them, and just as they were yelling at each other, they saw several rows of new Ming soldiers appear in front of the dispersed Ming army, each holding a powerful crossbow in their hands. It was still a foot-stepping one, and the sharp arrows were pointed at them. No matter how brave these prisoners were, they were immediately frightened out of their wits. At such a close range, no matter how much armor he wears, he can't stop this powerful crossbow.

Some of the Jianlu who had been extremely fierce just now suddenly dropped their weapons and knelt down, shouting for mercy, while others went crazy and tried to rush over.

Without any hesitation, Lu Da gave the order, and several rows of powerful crossbows fired in volley. Suddenly, a sound of "Puff, puff, puff" was heard. The prisoners who were so fierce and powerful just now lay on the ground, and many of them were pierced by the powerful crossbows. Tohru, who was not dead for a moment, was still squirming and struggling on the ground. Some prisoners were strung together by powerful crossbows, and they fell together.

Such a scene made not only the Korean volunteers but also the Dongjiang Ming Army feel cold on their backs. Then when those Dongjiang Ming soldiers looked at the powerful crossbows in the hands of the soldiers in the Zhongcheng Biao camp, their eyes gleamed.

About half an hour later, the Korean volunteers and the Dongjiang Ming Army reappeared around the grain transport team. The number of people was so large that the remaining Jianlu were afraid. When Lu Da led more than fifty Biaoying crossbowmen to clear the way and fired several rounds of powerful crossbows, everything was no longer in suspense.

Under the cleaning of the North Korean volunteers, it didn't take long for the battlefield to be clean. When Lu Xiangsheng allocated one-third of the grain to these Korean volunteers, thunderous cheers rang out along the road: "Long live the Ming Dynasty!"
